[QUOTE="madman, post: 265454, member: 13851"] As I stated in my reply to your PM the most accurate assays for free testosterone are the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration. The only way to know where your FT truly sits is to have it tested using an accurate assay especially in cases of altered SHBG. Although such assays are available in Canada through certain labs the cost is ridiculous and they are not covered by insurance so most would never pay out of pocket to obtain such. If you do not have access to such than you will need to use/rely upon the calculated method which replaced the older outdated and known to be inaccuarte direct FT immunoassay. The majority of labs use/rely upon the calculated linear law-of-mass action Vermeulen method and unfortunately they have their own set of reference ranges as there is no harmonized reference range let alone standardization of free testosterone as of yet and is in the works as we speak. As I stated previously you are better off using the cFTV which is available online for free. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm[/URL] Also keep in mind that when using/relying upon the cFTV as of now it tends to overestimate FT when compared to the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis so your FT level may very well be lower. First off when were your labs done as we always want to test at the true trough (lowest point) before your next injection. If we take your TT, SHBG and Albumin we can calculate your FT. Looking over the lab results you posted a month ago when you were injecting 9 mg TPP daily you were hitting a robust TT 730 ng/dL, with a normal SHBG 29 nmol/L and seeing as you did not post your Allbumin we can use 4.3 g/dL (default) which would have your FT 17.7 ng/dL on the higher end but far from absurdly high. Most healthy young males would be peaking around 13-15 ng/dL. Now the big question is how many hours post-injection were your labs drawn?
